Teaching Strategies and Knowledge for teaching year 4 literacy

A free course from Stanford University focused on how to learn mathematics as a student. The ICT connection is how they use ICTs to teach this Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). But beyond this, the course might be useful for those of you slightly phobic of maths and beyond that I'm sure there will be some interesting pedagogical suggestions you could pick up for your own teaching.

Article talking about the use of a 3D simulation (a game basically) in an attempt to help students develop empathy. The comments include a couple of interesting perspectives, especially in terms of do you really need ICT to teach this? Aren't there other ways? Does ICT offer anything in this context?

Integration of ICT into Classroom Teaching

I like how the article explained co learning and the benefits of being open to students help and advice. I personally was taught how to present power point years ago by a nine year old.

The Blog of a teacher who loves to teach

Sally is a 1st year teacher that shows her passion and energy for her classroom and students through innovative Instagram posts. She incorporates ICTs into her posts and shows how important it is to stay connected to other teachers to share ideas and inspiration. She inspires my future teaching.

A great teacher that posts a variety of images depicting her day to day teaching life... Great inspiration!

Teaching ideas for a range of subjects

This was the first resource I came across after Googling the title I've written above. I took the advice in the learning path in selecting my subject for my unit plan (to pick a weaker teaching area in order to strengthen it) and this resource has helped me immeasurably! It provides focus questions, PDF and video samples, as well as providing additional links surrounding developing geographical thinking and communication skills and understanding geography teaching in terms of pedagogical practices. All in all, a good find!

I found this webpage very helpful in showing teachers how to have a strong PCK when teaching Geography.

PCK and geography

A blog post that presents a graph giving one representation of where certain skills and knowledge sit along two axes - "difficulty to assess" and "learning in a networked world". The argument is that most assessment in formal education focuses on content knowledge and basic skills.  Rather than on more important but more difficult to assess knowledge and skills. It might not be 100% correct, but it's good food for thought. What are you teaching and assessing in your teaching?  What am I doing?

An interesting and valuable teaching concept - extremely visual and interactive for students.

Danielle, this is fantastic! I want to locate these resources now, especially for students with special needs or literacy/numeracy learning difficulties. Thanks for sharing.
